AUSTIN, Texas – In her NCAA Championships debut, Destiny Masters earned second team All-American recognition with a 16th-place finish in the high jump Saturday at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
The sophomore from El Dorado, Kan. cleared her first two bars on first attempt and came up clutch with a third-attempt clearance at 1.81m/5'11.25".
"I continue to be super impressed with Destiny's ability to deliver clutch performances in really tough situations," head coach Steve Rainbolt said. "This is a big stage, and I'm so proud of Destiny. She has had a wonderful season and to come here and jump extremely close to her personal record… she did magnificent. I couldn't be prouder."
Ball State's Charity Griffith claimed the NCAA high jump title with a jump of 1.93m/6'4", and American Athletic Conference high jumpers, Taylor Beard and Annika Kelley, finished eighth and 21st, respectively.
